Rita and Caroline are at it again, diligently soliciting donations for such a great cause! This time they visited a hair salon in East Memphis.
Upon entering the salon they were greeted by one of the stylists. They explained that they were soliciting donations for Coins 4 Kids, an organization that works in cooperation with the World Food Programme to feed children in Nairobi, Kenya. The stylist told them that they would need to speak to the owner who wasn’t in at the time.

During the exchange, the client of the stylist overheard the conversation and asked if Rita and Caroline could wait a few minutes until she was done. Of course they waited to see what she had to say. It turned out this woman had a brother who had been in the Peace Corps in Africa and she was delighted to make a donation. She wrote a check for $200 on the spot!
Was it a coincidence that the generous person was having her hair done on the day that Rita and Caroline visited the salon? Maybe it was or maybe it wasn’t, but it was the perfect combination needed to feed the children in Nairobi. And that’s what it’s all about.
